Davis had reportedly considered various short-term and long-term contract scenarios before accepting the five-year maximum offer.
The 27-year-old’s contract will include a player option for early termination in the final year of his contract in the 2024-25 NBA season, according to his agent Rich Paul.
This agreement comes as a result of James extending his agreement with the Lakers until the 2023-24 season.
The two stalwarts had no failures in their first year as a tandem with the Lakers, leading the team to its 17th title after a decade-long drought.
Davis himself posted the norms of 26.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.5 steals per outing in his first year with the new team.
With Davis and James in the Lakers’ long-term future, it looks like they will be the team to beat for the foreseeable future with a possible dynasty in the making.
